QFCI Fire Resistant
Fire resistant optical fibre cable, QFCI - code F101 NEK TS 606:2016 (available also in
MUD protected version).
Indoor and outdoor. Fire Resistant. Flame Retardant halogen free. Loose Tube.
APPLICATION 1
Optical cable for indoor and outdoor use in vital weather resistant material and may be exposed for
communication and emergency systems that need shorter periods to fluids such as diesel and mineral 2
to be operational during fire. The cable has a design oils. The resistance to these fluids is according to
that ensures operation for more than 3 hours in fires IEC60811-404. The cable is reinforced with a steel
up to 1000 °C. The unique design features extended wire braiding. The fibres are protected in jelly filled
Fire Resistant properties (XFR) which secure loose tubes stranded around a FRP central strength
operation during fire test with bending and impact member to ensure optimum performance and long
from hammer shock. In addition, also with water life. Each fibre and loose tube is colour coded for
spray and water jet (BS 84911) during and directly easy identification during splicing and termination.
after the fire. The cable is halogen free and flame The outer sheath is marked to show fibre type and
retardant to protect against secondary damage to cable type. Also available in Mud Resistant version:
electronic equipment during and after fire. Outer in this case, an additional outer sheath is added to
sheath is made from black UV-stabilized and improve protection.
